Granville 3-2 Holycross (AET)
A very hard fought win for us this. We were 2 down after 10 minutes thanks to a fine start fom the visitors. We did pull a vital goal back before half time when after great work down our left from veteran Stephen Benn he passed to the other veteran Neill Mc Gourty who fired over a super cross for young Philip Coffey to smash home with a powerful header. Second half we dominated from the go and Cian Byrnes was hacked down in the area leading to a penalty. Jason Benn did the honours cooly slotting home past the helpless keeper. After that both teams struggled and the game went to extra time. Both sides created chances the best of which fell to Coffey who's super strike was saved brilliantly by the Holycross keeper. Our own keeper Kevin Mc Glinchy made a top class save shortly after, pushing a shot wide at the last second. With the game headed for penalties Philip Judge's excellently flighted corner was met powerfully on the penalty spot by Mc Gourty whose header found the net via a big deflection off Coffey... :D
It was a fine comeback completed and we're relieved to be in the next round.
My man of the match Neil Mc Gourty.
to be honest Coonagh had the bad luck to-day that prospect are having all year, they just couldnt put the ball in the net, the game was played at 100 mile an hour for the first half, a very quick game, both teams missed a few goals but Coonagh missed the most, enjoyable game though, it was good to get a win.

Wembley Rvs v Hospital, 2.15, A Keogh
Thought Prospect were a good side and played some good ball, but after last week our lads had something to prove and gave one of our best displays of the season, surprised Prospect are in the bottom three but i dont think they will go down and should finish well up the table, well done yesterday another handy win

Scoreline a bit harsh on Athunkard but quality was the difference. First half was mostly Pike, dominating the chances but couldn't convert them due to great saves form their goalkeeper and great defending by their defence. But just before half time a mistake by the keeper left P.Moloney with a open and he coolly converted. Second half was the same. With goals coming from J.Tierney, C.Kavanagh, P.Moloney and A.Barry. Athlunkard pulled back a goal just before the final whistle.
